    Sadly it was just a miss for us. Started off good, ceasar salad was good, fried artichokes were…read moreexcellent, meatballs were not for me; didn't care for the seasoning, heavy sauce. I order dinner and they were out of the hanger steak. My boyfriend ordered and they were out of the paella. I ended up getting the chicken cutlet board. The chicken was very dry, it was like a fish fry batter, not what I think of when I hear "cutlet". Over cooked, salty. My boyfriend got the salmon. I tasted it at the end of the meal, I couldn't even believe he tried to eat it. It was very overcooked and so fishy. Also it said that his potatoes were Lyonnaise potatoes, Definitely not, they were thickly sliced, lacked seasoning, just a miss. Drink service was very slow, forgot a drink too. The waiter mentioned they're in between menus; i'm hoping my feedback can be helpful to the restaurant. Also it is my pet peeve when servers don't tell you upon seating you that they are out of an item. Being they were out of both of the entrées we wanted we may have chose to leave and come back another day and possibly have a more positive experience.

    I attended my daughter's ceremony, as she received high honors and a scholarship. We wanted to have…read morea celebration dinner, but didn't want to go far, so we decided on Uptown since it is close to our house. We entered the establishment and we were seated right away. My daughter and I ordered the Hot Honey Wings for an appetizer, and my daughter had a Cheeseburger with French Fries, and I ordered the Meat Lovers Paella. I ordered the paella because I have always wanted to try it, but I don't eat seafood, so I'm glad they had a meat paella. If you're ordering the Pallea, it will take about thirty to thirty minutes, so I would order an appetizer. The wings came out, and they were good, and the sauce was good. My only problem is that many restaurants that make wings seem to miss the seasoning, and the wings were missing flavor. It was fried well, but it was missing flavor. I loved the Meat Lovers Paella, which was packed with flavor. The paella came out in a cast-iron pan, and the meats were cooked well. The steak was moist, full of flavor, and cooked well. The rice was full of flavor and delicious. The Paella had a rich flavor profile, with the prominent tastes of saffron and smoky paprika coming together to create a satisfying and aromatic experience. I would definitely be back for the Paella because the presentation was on point. The customer service was great as the waiter was friendly, outgoing, and very knowledgeable about the menu.

    This is my second visit to The Spot, now featuring a new chef who calls the experience The Chef…read moreChrissy Experience. The menu retained some items from before, but the chef added more options with a little flair. Upon entering, we weren't greeted and had to sit at a table without any server approaching us. I eventually went to the bar to ask if I should order there or if a waiter was on the way, and I was told a waiter was coming. We waited about fifteen minutes before the waiter arrived. It took another 15 minutes to get our drinks, and an additional thirty minutes for the food. I saw on their Instagram that the staff was still adjusting to the kitchen operations, which I understand, but at least bring the drinks to the table. That was a bit disappointing, but I hoped the food would be worth the wait. My son and I visited because we saw the food on Instagram and thought it looked delicious. The day's special was Rasta Pasta with Salmon, Chicken, or Shrimp. We ordered the Rasta Pasta with Chicken, and my son chose the Rasta Pasta with Shrimp. We also ordered Chicken Wings and Macaroni and Cheese. The Wings and Mac & Cheese arrived first, and the Mac and Cheese was really good. It wasn't overcooked and had multiple cheeses, making it creamy and flavorful. The Wings were crispy and tasty, with well-seasoned sauce. The Rasta Pasta was excellent but very spicy. The chicken was flavorful, and the pasta was cooked perfectly, but I couldn't finish it because of the spiciness. My son agreed it was spicy but enjoyed it. Overall, the customer service was a bit lacking, giving it a three-star rating, but the quality of the food earned a four-star rating. I'd return to order food, but prefer takeout over dining in. They also offer delivery.

    We've been curious to check out Uptown for a while now, and I'm so glad we finally stopped in! It's…read moreour new favorite spot in downtown Ansonia, with such a beautiful covered patio area that we could hang out on for hours. Great variety on the menu! We thought everything was delicious, and the drinks were good too. The food came out quickly, and our server was very nice. Can't wait to come back and try more dishes!

    Wow! Where should I even start..this place is absolutely amazing! I wish I had heard of it sooner…read more I picked this place as a surprise for my friend's birthday! When you first walk in the sound of live music filled our ears and it was just lovely it was a surprise to me because I didn't know they had that here. The two gentlemen who were playing were so wonderful together and they were just having fun! The music kept the vibes flowing for the entirety of the time. The service was great everyone was lovely great attitudes, everyone helped it was a great collective effort Jackie and Raven the bartenders and servers were amazing, Brooke wonderful and even Tristan for his first day on the job did great! Elyse was very friendly and welcoming! The food was absolutely DELICIOUS that blue bird chicken sandwich was definitely my favorite thing we tried every bite of that sandwich makes sense and the truffle parm fries to go with it chefs kiss! The tacos were great I enjoyed the shrimp one more but the chicken one was very good as well. The waffle board I did think that that waffle was going to be bigger but it was still a great addition to our tastings. We shared everything and ended with the almond crème brûlée it was really good and not too sweet! We did also have some mimosas. We started off with mango, hibiscus, and ended with guava they were all really tasty. This place for sure exceeded my expectations and I will 1000% be a repeat customer! I'm going to tell all my friends! Thank you for the service, the vibes, the food, and a cute new place to go to!
